Box Mods vs. Mechanical Mods

Box Mods vs. Mechanical Mods

Figure 1: Box Mods Vs Mechanical Mods

Many vapers who have been into vaping for quite some time are coming to a point where they need to twerk/upgrade their device for better quality performance. It has been a popular discussion in the vape mods scene on what is more preferable, a box mod or a mechanical mod?

Basically, a mechanical mod is a simple vaporizing device with a tube that holds the battery and button for it to deliver current to the atomizer. On the other hand, box mod is, quite literally, a box vape that contains electronics and wirings. So, essentially, these two are different in build and in structure. But we are going to delve deeper in to their pros, cons, and contrasts.

DESIGN

A mechanical mod is much simpler and slimmer holding only its tube and its other half. A mechanical mod is only about 4” – 6” just perfect for people who wants to keep things simple and classy. On the contrary, box mod is taller and wider because of its ‘box’ feature. Simply put, it is bulkier than the mechanical.

DURABILITY

A box mod is more erratic to physical damage because of its structure made out of, mostly, wood and aluminum compared to mechanical mods that are usually made from stainless steel, brass, or copper.

BATTERY LIFE

Because of its ‘box’ feature, a box mod can have electronics that can lower that current usage depending on your setting resulting to minimal use of battery. Unlike in a mechanical mod, full force of the current is always used every press of the button and may cause exceeding battery use.

SAFETY

Box mod, if regulated, can detect problems with in the device, thus, it will not work if such problems are detected. To add, some box mods have functions like thermal and reverse polarity protection in which the mechanical mod is lacking.

PRICE

With the mechanical mods’ simpler design and functions, it is cheaper compared to box mods’ complex electronics and circuits. Though this factor usually depends on the brand you are comparing, but still in general, mechanical mods do surpass box mods when it comes to price.

On the bottom line, preference is still where it really comes down. Think about the factors and choose what you prefer, though both are good vape devices. ENJOY VAPING!

The “TRUTH” Behind Vaping Devices and Nicotine

From vape mods to vape pens, the numbers of vaping devices being introduced in the market these recent years have indeed caught the attention of health organizations. Introduced as an alternative to traditional cigarettes and tobacco, these e-cigarettes are designed to imitate cigarettes and deliver nicotine via inhalation without the need to combust a tobacco. It is also designed to deliver nicotine in a toxin-free vapor.

SO HOW BAD IS NICOTINE TO OUR BODY?

• Nicotine is a naturally occurring chemical that is found in many plants and vegetables.
• A small baking potato contains around 1 microgram of nicotine. While tobacco cigarettes contain between 0.4mg to 2.5mg of nicotine.
• Around 30-60 mg of nicotine might be a lethal dose for a non-smoker. However, a person’s genetics can greatly vary their response to nicotine.
• A heavy smoker could survive up to 120 mg of nicotine.

poisonAccording to Professor Michael Russell, “People smoke for nicotine, but die from the tar.”  Tobacco cigarette smoke contains over 4000 identified chemicals including a number of known carcinogens and poisons.

1. Cyanide
2. Carbon Monoxide
3. Methanol
4. Acetylene
5. Ammonia
6. Nitrosamines
7. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
8. Radioactive carcinogens

E-cigarettes, vape pens and vape mods on the other hand only has 3 base chemicals and food grade flavorings. And sometimes are added with more complex flavorings or additional compounds for its taste.

• Propylene Glycol
• Nicotine
• Glycerin
• Vanillin

Dr. Klauss Lessnau, a Pumonary and Critical Care Specialist from the Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City stated: “Regular tobacco products produce more than 1,000 toxic substances, many of them tar–related whereas, electronic cigarettes do.”

Unlike regular tobacco cigarettes, there are no currently proven risks from using vaping devices. Even Dr. Murray Laugesen of New Zealand’s Smoking Policy and Cigarettes Research said: “The product is safe, efficacious, and possibly effective in stopping smoking… It is a product that potentially just might assist smokers to quit and therefore cut the 1 in 2 cumulative death rate in smokers.”

Hence, vaping devices and e-cigarettes may indeed be the life-saving product we have been looking for to leave many nicotine addicts a viable option to stop tobacco smoking and leave a healthier life.
